Your thoughts on this kattara

Thx for your replies. It was listed as 19thC Omani kattara but failed auction several times and was returned to seller. Now we know why.

No its not normally for the Funoon ..They use the straight Sayf for the Razha in the Funoon. It is in my opinion a Kitara although the 2 headed bird puts me off as its an add on...The criss cross silver stitching is typical on long hilts as both sayf and kitara have this pattern. I have just written on this at my new thread. Please see Zanzibar, Said The Great and his influence on Omani swords and weapons. We need to see the blade please.
